Buyers FAQ's.

What sort of things can I expect to find in the general action?

Entries vary hugely from sale to sale. There can be anything from Booters' Boxes to large pieces of furniture, job lots, even cars and vans. We could have new items, antiques and anything in between - We never know for certain ourselves until we're approached by vendors. There could be individual private lots, or complete deceased estates entered by the trade, local authorities or courts.

When's the general auction held; When can I view the entries for it?

The general sale is held every Monday, starting at 6pm. Viewing for the weekly sale is held from 9 - 6 on Sundays and from 10 - 5:45 on Mondays.
We don't produce catalogues for the general auctions.
Viewing, auction details and catalogues for any special sales will be announced on the coming soon page.

Do I need to do anything before I bid?

If you don't already have one, you'll need to register and obtain a bidding number (Please be sure to register before the start of the auction). You only need to register once, keeping your bidding number for future use.

I can't attend the auction, can I still bid?

Yes. Absentee bids can be placed in one of three ways. You can either:
Call in and complete a commission bid form.
Arrange a telephone bid, or
E-mail us with details of the lot number (Or detailed lot description.), your bidding number and your maximum bid before 5pm on the day of the auction.
Our cantact details are here.

What methods of payment do you accept?

We accept cash and cheques (With a valid guarantee card). For larger amounts we can also accept bank transfers along with major credit and debit cards via PayPal and PayPal Mobile.
Please ask at the desk about PayPal payments before you bid.

When do I collect my purchases?

Any outside lots purchased must be paid for and removed by the end of the sale. Lots puchased from inside the auction rooms must be paid for and collected before the close of business on the day following the sale *.
*Unless prior arrangements have been made with us, any lots not paid for and collected within the stated periods may be either offered to the under-bidder, or re-entered for the next auction.

I missed the auction, can I buy any lots after the sale?

Yes. If a lot has been offered for auction and remains unsold we can quote any reserve and sell it up until the Friday after the sale.

Are there refreshments available during the sale?

Yes. We have a burger bar on site from around 4:30 on sale days.

Do you provide transport for larger items?

No, but we can supply you with the details for a helpful, local haulier for you to make your own arrangements.

I can't find an answer to my question, what can I do?
